Trumpets (Gavin and Taliyah no instrument)

What we did
  • Assessed Performance Targets for Line 16
  • Developed Performance Targets for line 17

What to do
  • Meet performance targets for line 16 and 17

Looking Ahead
  • Meet Performance Goals on line 23, 25 and begin "Let's Go Band" and other All-City Music

Notes
  • I am very concerned with the slow progress of this group. It has to do with a great lack of preparation.
  • Is this correlated to their academics?


Trombones (All present;Caleb No Book)

What we did
  • Assessed Performance Targets for Line 16 "Hot Cross Buns"
  • Developed performance targets for line 17 and 23
  • Developed performance targets for melody 1 of "Let's Go Band"

What to do
  • Stefan meet performance goals from 25, 26, 28, 29 30? and LGB
  • Malakee and Caleb: Meet performance goals from 16, 17, 23 and LGB

Looking Ahead
  • Eighth note rhythms

Notes
  • Caleb and Malakee are capable players but their progress is slow.
    • Caleb cannot practice from the book because he still does not own one.
    • Malakee needs to be more focused on setting and meeting his goals.

Percussion (Jason Ab; All others present with instrument except Isaiah)

What we did
  • Counting and clapping Haskell-Harr Lesson 6 to prepare for snare drum
  • Developing counting and clapping for Lesson 7 in Haskell-Harr (eighth note rhythms)

What to do
  • Clap and Count rhythms for lesson 6 and 7
  • Begin to establish single bounce stroke on same lessons

Looking Ahead
  • Meet performance targets on Mallets for line 16, 17, 23, 25
  • Begin developing performance targets on mallets for "Let's Go Band"
  • Meet performance targets for Haskell-Harr lessons 6 & 7

Notes
  • Slow progress from students; lack of preparation for lessons
  • Isaiah has not had his instrument in school for quite some time. He also has a lack of focus when in class. Quite concerned
